8 Popular Weight-Loss Diets That Could Be Total Disasters For You

The Dukan diet

The Dukan diet is a high-protein, low-carb weight loss diet as old as time. It promised a rapid weight loss without ever feeling hungry. The Dukan diet consists of four phases: two weight loss phases during which you have to consume lean protein and two maintenance phases in which you are allowed to add vegetables, fat and other low-carb foods.
